Campus Star

Liu Xin was furious.

Originally, whatever Xiao Ji wanted to buy had nothing to do with him.

But this son of a bitch owed money and didn't pay it back, yet he spent money like crazy.

The most crucial thing was, if that bastard spent all his money, how would he eat this semester?

Xiao Ji was thick-skinned; Liu Xin's anger beside him didn't seem to affect his swagger.

"Xin-ye, what do you think of this outfit? Does it match?"

"Should I wear this tomorrow? Junior sisters nowadays all like the academy style."

"Xin-ye..."

Liu Xin exploded, "Get lost! Don't call me 'ye,' I don't have an unfilial descendant like you!"

...

The next day,

Class Two set up a reception point for new students at the school gate.

Xiao Ji specifically wore his new clothes, his hair meticulously combed, and even sprayed some bulk perfume; even his motorcycle was wiped clean and looked brand new.

At the reception point, a group of people chatted lively.

New students had already arrived one after another, and many came here for inquiries.

If it was a male student, most were just told how to get there, how to complete the enrollment process, and then left to fend for themselves.

If it was a female student, someone would escort them.

Especially if she was good-looking, she wouldn't even have to carry her own luggage.

Wu Ling, as the Youth League Branch Secretary, was responsible for coordinating the on-site work.

"Xiao Ji, please take this junior brother; he's not clear on how to complete the enrollment."

Xiao Ji turned his face, "No way, my leg is cramping, I need to rest; let someone else take him."

Wu Ling sighed, "Liu Xin, you go take him."

Liu Xin cursed, "Damn it, let's see if your leg cramps when you see a girl!"

Just then, sure enough, a good-looking junior sister arrived; before she even reached the consultation point, Xiao Ji darted over.

"Hello, junior sister, I'm the senior responsible for new student reception. Please come with me."

"Oh, okay, thank you, senior."

"You're welcome, I'll give you a ride on my motorcycle!"

The girl, entering the university campus for the first time, couldn't help but exclaim that ten years of hard study hadn't been in vain; the seniors at university were so enthusiastic...

"Thank you..."

Watching the motorcycle carrying the junior sister speed away, the junior brother looked bewildered.

Did that senior's cramp get better so quickly?

Liu Xin said to the junior brother, "See that? If you have someone like that in your dorm later, be extra careful, especially don't lend him money..."

The junior brother nodded vaguely, and the two dragged their suitcases, walking away under the scorching sun.

...

Chen Xiao had already expected it; if Xiao Ji spent such a huge sum, how could he give up without getting a pretty junior sister?

At ten in the morning, more and more new students poured into the school.

Wu Ling and the others were clearly getting overwhelmed, so Chen Xiao also went to help like the others, answering questions for the confused new students.

This welcoming new students job, unless it's done by someone interested in a junior brother or sister, is a tough one.

In 38-39 degree weather, a simple sunshade clearly couldn't block the high temperature.

The students of Class Two were sweating profusely; even Liu Xin had made three round trips, but Xiao Ji, after taking a junior sister, was nowhere to be seen.

At this point, no one bothered him. Chen Xiao looked at the situation on site, took out two hundred yuan, and handed it to Liu Xin, "When you go back later, buy some iced freshly squeezed juice."

Liu Xin touched his pocket, really wanting to act cool and say he'd pay for it, but 200 yuan was more than he could earn in a day of hard labor...

"Damn it, don't learn from Xiao Ji. If you run out of money, I won't support you."

"Less nonsense, hurry up and come back."

Liu Xin rode his broken motorcycle, which made noise everywhere except the horn, and sped off in a trail of black smoke to buy juice...

Just as everyone was about to suffer heatstroke, Liu Xin brought back several large bags of juice.

"Come on, everyone, take a break, have some juice. In this terrible weather, people will be ruined if it continues like this."

The students of Class Two were stunned. So luxurious?

Chen Xiao had suddenly become generous since the end of last semester, as if he had won the lottery.

"Holy cow, Xiao Ge is mighty."

"Xiao Ge is awesome."

"Chen Xiao is so handsome..."

...

Others didn't know where he got the money, only Liu Xin knew, and he asserted that Chen Xiao still had at least five thousand yuan in his hand.

"Damn it, you rich dog, I should have bought large cups for everything; why save you a penny!" Liu Xin grumbled while handing the remaining change to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao smiled, took the money, and casually put it in his pocket. Unless needed, he might never take them out again; they would eventually become a small surprise for Li Wenli, who helped him wash clothes.

The group drank iced juice, feeling a bit more energized.

It was almost noon, and they could finish in another half an hour, but suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance.

Everyone turned their gaze.

It turned out to be a girl dragging a pink suitcase, dressed very fashionably, with a delicate and cute doll face and big eyes that seemed to speak.

She wore a plaid dress and a lace-trimmed pastoral-style sun hat, looking youthful, radiant, and incredibly beautiful.

"Holy cow! Zeng Enqi?"

"It's her, it's her, I've seen her variety show."

"Oh my god, there's a celebrity among this year's new students!"

...

In this era, celebrity chasing was rampant, and Zeng Enqi's appearance immediately caused a stir at the school gate.

Among everyone present, only Chen Xiao was the calmest.

Because he knew Zeng Enqi well: famous at a young age, a renowned singer, a campus star, active in various variety shows and talent competitions throughout her university years.

Originally, her future was very bright; she was once rated by industry bigwigs as the most promising new singer of the year, but after graduation, she married the CEO of a company 15 years her senior.

From then on, her career faded until she disappeared.

The last time Chen Xiao heard about her was the news of her divorce from her husband two years before his rebirth.

Chen Xiao naturally knew a celebrity like Zeng Enqi and had heard some gossip, but the two had no interaction.

In this life, seeing her again, she was still a youthful beauty who had just entered university, a potential singer known by her fans as the "most beautiful girl next door."

Although she had some fame now, she hadn't yet won the third place in the variety show "Happy Girls"; she was just a top 16 contestant.

So her enrollment was low-key, like other students, she came to register alone.

"Hello, where do I go to complete the enrollment procedures?"

Wu Ling was stunned, then turned to Chen Xiao and said, "Uh... Xiao Zi, please take this student."

After speaking, she even winked at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was speechless. He knew Ling Jie meant well, but with his public identity, how could he be associated with such a favored daughter of heaven?

The main thing was, the sun was so strong outside, and the shuttle buses were already packed.

Although these people chatted excitedly upon seeing a celebrity, it was impossible for anyone to give up their seat.

Students from prestigious universities also had some arrogance. For a typical celebrity, they would at most pay attention, but no one would scream and rush over without regard for their image.

Zeng Enqi turned to look at Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao helplessly got up, "Let's go."

"Thank you, senior."

"You're welcome."

Immediately after, people saw a boy walking ahead with his hands in his pockets, followed by a slender girl laboriously dragging a pink suitcase...
